After a four-week absence, Drake London is on track to make his return from a knee injury in Week 16. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Atlanta Falcons wide receiver is expected to play Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. It’ll be London’s first game since Week 12 when he caught seven passes for 119 yards in an overtime loss to the Panthers.
London, who is officially listed as questionable on the Falcons’ injury report, was a limited practice participant throughout the week and didn’t practice at all Friday. Regardless, he’ll make his return for a Falcons team eliminated from playoff contention.

What is the fantasy impact of Drake London’s return?
London’s 13 fantasy points per game before his injury ranked third of all wide receivers, so he’s a must start when healthy enough to play. He had over 100 receiving yards in five of six games before his injury, though the majority of that action came before Kirk Cousins replaced Michael Penix Jr. at quarterback.
While London’s return provides a boost to Cousins’ fantasy stock, it negatively impacts Kyle Pitts, who had stepped into that top receiving option role with London out.
